aaroncosbey Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hi guys, what in your opinions would be the best tyre (and tube) to get for a mod? What about the echo supa trial, and the stinky try-all tyres?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Lite_Rider Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 To be fair i wouldnt say theres many bad mod tyres going apart from the onza stiicky fingers they are horrid, Monty,koxx or maxxis will be your best bet personally i favour monty tires due to the fact they have excellent grip on both street and natural even though i havent tried maxxis creepy crawlers i would think its hard to beat monty's. As for the tube anyone should do just be careful and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PythonRider Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Maxxis Creapy Crawlers all the way! Definatley not echo! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Try a serch, theres lots of info about tires but........................ Maxxis = really grippy but loads of drag Monty = good grip but not as much as maxxis, less dragg than maxxis Havent tried any others besides lunas (Y)" id go for a maxxis rear and a monty front Edited January 23, 2005 by CalopS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) I haven't heard good thing's about the echo tyres. Monty tyre's are really good, they grip no matter what ! Try-all tyre's don't seem that good for street, my mate has them and i see him slipping about all over the place. I'm not sure about the maxxis one's though, but i should imagine tyre's from maxxis are pretty good.

JT! Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Creepy crawlers (maxxis) do drag. When your freewheeling, you basicly slow down quicker, thisn is due to their imence grip. Alot of people complain about this, but its not like your going to be racing or anything like that. I have not tryed the monty tyers. but have tryed sticky fingers are they are pants (Y) . I would go with the creepy crawlers, the try-alls are only good if your into all that muddy wet shitty trials. And i havent heard anything good about the echo ones. Creepy Crawlers all the way, from here. Edited January 23, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) luna: just as grippy as the monty tyre, wears very slow, v.hard to pinch, not too springy :P maxxis: springy, lighter than the luna, grippiest out of them, and does drag cos of this, fairly hard to pinch, good for street and natural (Y) (Y) available from TartyBikes :D like everything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspired Dave Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 IMO, for all-round performance, Maxxis are still in a tyre league of their own! Ok, they wear a bit faster than most other tyres about, but ask any serious riders who are un-biased (/un-sponsored) which tyres they prefer, I bet the majority say Maxxis. As for tubes, well, Maxxis again have done me proud for 26", and if their 20" 2.35" tubes are anything like the 26" ones, they do the job admirably!

Bionic Balls Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 On wet and slippery logs....koxx stiky tyres make maxxis look like plastic. adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 If you want tubes just get the standard ones from supercycles. (Actual if you phone them, you get £1 off as they have the wrong price somewhere.) (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 With maxxis tires monty tube and 2 cut in half innertubes round the monty innertube i can get away with a flatter tire (Y) Guess thats a bad idea if your worried about a little bit of weight though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaroncosbey Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thats great guys - looks like i'm gettin a pair of creepy crawlers then - i'll buy them from supercycles unless tartybikes can beat £40 for a pair (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendee Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 i'll buy them from supercycles unless tartybikes can beat £40 for a pair (Y) ← i think 40 quid on superycles is plus postage though. im pretty sure dave and adam make sure their cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If maxxis have more drag then your legs will get really strong and your be fitter, its just more effort Edited January 23, 2005 by CalopS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Does anyone know whats the weight difference between maxxis and monty? Also, whats the springyness difference between the two? Im in the middle of buying a pair of tyres too but dont know which way 2 go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Monty are alot lighter around 700/800 grams Im biased as I starte don Montys then ent to Koxx now back on Mony and tey are performing very well. Very springy, little rolling resistance(its important to me) sexy looks and I run a moped tube so there not gonna puncure too quickly 9fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Shit, reading this thread makes me think I should pay more attention to my rubber (Y) I've just got a Luna trials tyre out back with a standard 20x1.95-2.1 tube, and up front a Maxxis Max Daddy 1.85, with the same type of tube. Done me fine, really. Was riding in snow today on some wet, minging stuff and they held up fine as long as you don't jab the pedals like some kinda spaz... Anyway, when my Luna wears out (about a year left...), I think I'll definitely go for the Creepy Crawlies. Maxxis simply make amazing products, so I can't see there'd be anything wrong with them. Plus, I haven't heard anything bad about them, so there we go. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea for trials tyres is to grip. the more the better, i'm not fussed about how well my bike rolls. :D (Y) (Y) Edited January 23, 2005 by JT!

Steve gave me some of his pads and they fit in and stop me, so they're on, still running 4 year old forks, year old bar and stem, Magura which hasn't been bled for 2 years, 4 year old wheelset, 3 year old cranks... Might have to get some new stuff soon though (Y) My year old freewheel's gettin' replaced soon either way. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I've found them to be pretty nice, all told. They can be a bit fiddly to get off/on, but I only take 'em off when something new's going on there. Note: Not Tart Approved™ (Y) Mark.
